In Focus: 7 K-Pop Music Videos That Will Put You In A Sunny Mood

With the blazing sun, your chic resort outfits sorted, and your travel plans booked, we're absolutely sure you're totally ready for summer! It's that time of the year where the goal is to take and post as many vacay pictures as you can. And in any case you need more inspiration to pump up the heat or keep the vibes on-point, having the right playlist is a must! Here, we're looking back at our favorite K-pop music videos with the best summer aesthetics and tunes. From "Red Flavor" to "Ko Ko Bop," these videos will put you in a sunny mood!

1. SISTAR's "I Swear"

Labeled as the "Queens of Summer" in K-pop, SISTAR just knows how to make the weather hotter as ever with every song they release. Though we recommend every SISTAR song to be in your summertime playlist, "I Swear" is, by far, our favorite! It involves a road trip, food, dancing, sleepovers, sunset swims, and sparklers that perfectly sum up our weekend getaway bucket list!

2. SNSD's "Party"

Another vacation-ready anthem for everyone, SNSD's "Party" is the summer trip of our dreams. With all of the aesthetically pleasing surfboards, cute swimsuits, and the blue ocean in the background, plus, the song's cheery melody and lyrics, we can't help but jam to this song on a hot day near the water!

3. HYUNA's "Bubble Pop"

We know that every second generation K-pop fan has this song on top of their summer playlist! This is also one of HYUNA's breakthrough songs; it's upbeat, sweet, and something you would totally dance to when you hear it. If you don't have an extra time to go to the gym, just dance to this song everyday, and you'll get your desired summer body in no time!

4. BIGBANG's "Sober"

Contrary to the title of the song, the boys of BIGBANG didn't seem sober at all in this video! Watching this already urges us to take a trip closer to nature and just get soaked in the sun. Headbanging: optional!

5. Red Velvet's "Red Flavor"

If you're needing some summer #OOTD inspo, then this video is definitely your go-to! The girls of Red Velvet are definitely our style inspos this season as much as they are our on-repeat girl group in our summer playlist!

6. Taeyeon's "Why"

Shot in Southern California, this visual treat from Taeyeon serves as our ultimate #aesthetics inspo this summer. Surely, we don't mind taking a middle-of-nowhere roadtrip or having a pool party (even on our own) this season! Plus, all of her outfits are simply cop-worthy!

7. EXO's "Ko Ko Bop"

Palm trees, convertible cars, and summer-printed shirts, EXO literally turned up the heat in their comeback video. (Seriously, don't even get us started on Kai's abs.) If you're an EXO-L, we're pretty sure this era urged you to buy all the floral shirts you could find!
